CONTROL TCP Command
\node can be either a specific node name or \*, a generic name representing
the node on which the PATHMON process is currently running.
For example, the following file name directs the TCP to create the appropriate
ZZTCPnnP or ZZTCPnnB file on volume $DATA using subvolume
TCP05DMP:
(FILE $DATA.TCP05DMP)
(FILE $DATA.TCP05DMP.ZZ)
The following unique name for file-name, directs the primary TCP to name
its dump file TCP05P and directs the backup TCP to name its dump file
TCP05B:
(FILE $DATA.PWAYDMPS.TCP05)
Both the primary and backup dump files are created on volume $DATA using
subvolume PWAYDMPS. The P (primary TCP dump) and B (backup TCP
dump) characters replace the last character of an eight-character name, or are
appended to the end of a shorter dump file name. If the dump file already
exists when the dump operation occurs, the TCPs reuse the existing file by
purging the file’s information and writing the latest memory dump.
If a file-system error interferes with creating a file that you specify, the TCP
creates the dump file on the same subvolume as its program object file and
uses the form ZZTCPnnx for the file name.
If you do not specify file-name, the TCP creates its dump file on the same
volume and subvolume as the PATHMON configuration file. The format of the
file names are ZZTCPnnP and ZZTCPnnB, where nn is a number from 01 to
10, and P and B indicate the primary or the backup process, respectively, that
the TCP dumped.
STATS { ON | OFF }
specifies whether to enable or disable the statistics collection mechanism within
the TCP while the TCP is running.
If you omit this attribute, the default is OFF.
ON
resets all STATS counters to zero and then activates the statistics collection
mechanism.
OFF
resets all STATS counters to zero and then deactivates the statistics collection
mechanism.
Note. You must enter all STATS commands before issuing the CONTROL TCP command
with the OFF attribute because this attribute resets all the statistical counters to zero.
